“you sound like you are from my generation. HEEHEHHEHHEHHEEHEH”

“Seen a bunch of good ones, these stand out.

Fugazi- Margin Walker tour at the VFW hall in Gainesville. Best show I have EVER seen

Special Beat- Reunion tour of member of The Specials and English Beat. First US appearence. The Milk Bar Jax. Fl.

Redd Kross- Neurotica tour

Metallica- And Justice for all tour”

“Oh yea.

My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult. Seen them about 5 times.”

“I heard that Fugazi puts on an amazing show.

I saw Metallica twice... the one time at Woodstock 99 and the other time this past tour... I can't remember the name of the tour, drawing a brain fart. It was with Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, and company.”

“They used too. I saw them on their next tour and I walked out. It was nowhere near the level of that first show. I guess my expectations had been set so high as be be unreachable.”

“Yea,.. that's gotta suck. Pearl Jam blew me away the first time I saw them in NYC, but yet they continue to surpass my expecatations each time. I have yet to find another band who does that to me.”
